Good news and Bad news

So I have good news and Bad news...

First the bad... Unfourtunatley I will not be making Jam to sell at the farmers markets this summer and winter on the Scale that I did last year.

For those who dont know, I have really bad knees, and I was spending about 40-60 hours a week standing at the stove making Jam to sell; and because of that had no time for anything else and would be really sore at the end of the day :( I have about 17 different varieties, and making 10-13 types per week, each batch taking about 3-5 hours start to finish.

The good news you ask?? I will be making jam.... But as I will be making it for friends and family, I will only sell my excess, with Mary at the Creative Bubbles booth.

If you would like me to make you a batch of any type of Jam, I can do it for you. The only thing is you would just have to buy the Entire batch 4-9 jars depending on the type. It would take me roughly a week to do so...

I know a lot of you out there will be just as sad as I am about this... but if I am to keep my sanity I can not take care of a toddler, make jam, take care of a massive garden, the house and chew bubble gum at the same time...

I thank you all for your bussiness last year, and any in the possible future. ~~Stina

Tired....

So I'm tired... I'm completly, utterly exhausted, and tired of being Fat...

Over the last month I have bought a bike, (and was given an awesome trailer to pull the munchkin. thanks Sandy!) I am making a pact with myself... Actually I dont know if that is what I would call it... But my goal is by the end of the Summer to be a size 12... (not the present 18)

I'm tired of having a baby belly, and tired of my thighs rubbing together when I walk... I know that might be a bit much for some readers out there but its the Gods honest Truth... I'm sick of not being able to go into a store and buy a shirt, or a pair of pants that fits. I will be smaller... and It will happen.
